Add Albion Online hot zones cog for PvP combat tracking

[Copilot]

Tracks real-time PvP activity in Albion Online red/black zones by polling the gameinfo API and aggregating recent kills by battle location.

Implementation

• Background polling: Fetches kill events from EU gameinfo API every 2 minutes
• Zone aggregation: Groups kills by Battle ID (API doesn't expose zone names) within 14-minute sliding window
• In-memory storage: Tracks kill count, total fame, and participant count per battle zone with automatic expiry

Commands

.hotzones              # Top 10 active zones
.hotzones top [N]      # Top N zones (1-20)
.hotzones stats        # Tracking metrics

Technical Notes

• Filters for OPEN_WORLD kills only (excludes safe zones, arenas)
• Uses Battle ID as zone identifier proxy due to API limitations
• Follows existing Albion cog patterns (http_get retry logic, lifecycle management)
• Data resets on bot restart (ephemeral by design)

Original prompt

create a new cog for Albion online.

the goal of the cog is to provide hot zones for combat in red or black zones.

the bot should regularly poll the gameinfo API for EU and check for recent kills and note the location.

users should be able to run a command to get the top hot zones with the number of recent kills (in 14 minutes)
